Into the Deadlands: Prologue
Colorado, 1877
Yang Xiao Long wakes up in a grassy meadow, with flowers growing around them. Unsure of where she is at, She looks around to see a town in the distance, with smoke coming from it. A armored wagon is boosting away from the town, and the wagon wakes up Ruby Rose, leader of the team, scratching her head as to how they got here.
Ruby looks around to see the town that is currently in the middle of a war, and says, "We need to help th-" She's cut off by the reactor exploding, causing a explosion nuclear worthy. The sound wakes up the rest of the crew, and making them panic. Blake gets up and stares at the explosion, swearing that she can see a laughing skull within the explosion.
Weiss immediately begins running for her life, causing the rest of the crew run with her, with Blake looking at the explosion while running. They end up in the small town of Elsin, and the sheriff says, "You from Aspen? If so, come with me, they'll treat you at the saloon." They follow him to find more people, some with missing limbs being treated for injuries.
Yang notices people at the bar, trying to drink away what they saw at Aspen. Weiss asks, "What the hell happened here?!" in a confused, yet demanding tone. The sheriff looks at Weiss and says, in a angry tone, "Black Regiment, the Dandies, the Union, and the confederates all fighting at once, that's what happened." and looks at all of them and says, "If you left Aspen a minute later, you would have been caught by the blast. Now, I don't have your names so if ya'll can say your names that be swell."
Yang walks up and states her name, "Yang Xiao Long, and this is my sister, Ruby Rose." She points at her, and Ruby nods at the sheriff's direction, then continuing to think about the explosion, she had never seen anything like it.
Weiss looked at the sheriff and said, "Weiss Schnee, daughter of the owner of the Schnee Dust Company." The sheriff looked at her confused for a moment and said, "The Schnee what now?" Weiss was a little shocked and said, "You know… the biggest dust supplier?" The sheriff just began laughing and said, "Your telling me that there's a company that's dedicated to making the dust on the windowsill?" Weiss looked like she could rip out the man's spine.
Blake puts a hand on Weiss's shoulder and says, "Don't mind her, she has a bit of a temper-" She earned a slap from Weiss by saying that. "Anyways, I'm Blake Belladonna, nice to meet you."
The sheriff was not looking at her, but her ears. Blake looked down to see her bow on the floor, and she froze. "Welp, looks like the CAT is out of the bag now." Yang said, and the sheriff felt his sides launch to orbit in laughter. Blake gets her bow and puts it back on, then runs out of the saloon.
Ruby walks up to the sheriff and says, "That's all of us, and we are team RWBY!" The sheriff burst out laughing yet again. The injured look at the sheriff like he's gone mad and he says, "I think we should continue this conversation outside." He walked out of the saloon, and the girls follow.
They find Blake staring at the moon, confused on why it isn't shattered like a plate. The rest of the team look up and see the moon whole. Reactions are mixed, and the sheriff is confused just by looking at the moon. "Uhh… girls?" He snapped his finger to get their attention.
"Where are we?" Ruby said, hoping for answers. "Your in Els-" he was cut off by Yang, "No, which kingdom are we in?" The sheriff looked confused, then said, "Are you from the UK, by any chance?" He scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"NO, NO, NO!" Weiss said, panicking. "Why the hell are you panicking!" The sheriff yelled, concerned for this young lady. "Because she's having a mental breakdown due to this being not our world of origin." Blake said, with confidence.
The sheriff looked absolutely dumbfounded, before saying, "Did all of you escape a insane asylum?"
